basic FUNCTION
  • may be playing a role in human longevity
  • in the cytoplasm, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) binding protein YTHDF2 accelerates the decay of m6A-modified transcripts
  • together with YTHDF1 and YTHDF2, YTHDF3 plays critical roles to accelerate metabolism of m6A-modified mRNAs in the cytoplasm
  • YTHDF2 may act as a tumor suppressor to repress cell proliferation and growth via destabilizing the EGFR mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma

    small molecule
    protein
  • YTHDF2 recruits the CCR4-NOT complex through a direct interaction between the YTHDF2 N-terminal region and the SH domain of the CNOT1 subunit, and this recruitment is essential for the deadenylation of m(6)A-containing RNAs by CAF1 and CCR4
  • FMR1 regulates the stability of its m6A-marked mRNA targets through YTHDF2, which could potentially contribute to the molecular pathogenesis of Fragile X syndrome (FXS)
  • YTHDF2 depletion increased the expression and stability of MAP2K4 and MAP4K4 mRNAs
  • YTHDF2 promotes mitotic entry and is regulated by cell cycle mediators (CUL4A, DDB1, CUL1, SKP2)
